The clinical vice president (CVP) is a key role in the elected senior officer team, leading on care quality and improvement for patients, RCP fellows and members.
The CVP is a member of Council and the Board of Trustees. RCP Council is confident that, through a transparent, open and well-advertised process, we will elect a fellow of outstanding calibre as the next CVP.
Voting for CVP will open in mid March 2025 when all fellows will be emailed online voting instructions and links to election material about the candidates.

Results
The result of the CVP election will be announced in late April 2025.
The RCP extends its thanks to all fellows who have nominated others or agreed to stand for election. The process to stand requires determination and commitment, on top of the candidate’s normal day-to-day pressures as physicians and individuals. All fellows of the college are encouraged to exercise the right to vote.
Special general meeting of fellows for the election of the president/College Day 2025
This will be held on Monday 14 April 2025 as required by section 6 of the Medical Act 1860. The summons to fellows will be sent out at least 2 weeks before the special general meeting but online voting will open in mid March 2025. Fellows who physically attend the special general meeting will have an option to vote in person as required by current legislation. Full details of the procedure will be included with the voting papers, which will be emailed to fellows.
As in previous elections, the presidency is an annual office as required by statute, but the RCP Council recommends to fellows that the new president is elected with the expectation that their term of office will be 4 years. The formal transfer of authority to the new president, following an induction period, will take place as soon as possible following election.
The RCP is all about our people – our members, our staff, our volunteers and leaders. We educate, influence and collaborate to improve health and healthcare for everyone and know we can only do this by being inclusive, encouraging and celebrating diverse perspectives. That’s why welcoming and having people who represent the 21st-century medical workforce, and the diverse population of patients we serve, is so important to us.
